What's the difference between a mapped drive and shortcut to the server?

Hi





I am baffled by the reply I got from customer support for a software we use at the office.





Basically: What is the real value of mapping a drive versus sharing a folder?





Thanks


--------------------------------------...


Answer gotten: You need to run PI from a folder WITHIN a mapped drive letter, such as


X:\PI5, not directly from \\WIS-SERVER\PI5





Do this on the workstation (not WIS-SERVER) by selecting Map Network Drive


from the Tools menu in Explorer (or My Computer). Choose a drive letter,


select the shared drive (just sharing C: is easiest, though less secure) and


check the 'Reconnect at logon' checkbox. Now make sure your shortcut points


to the drive letter, not \\WIS-SERVER\PI5





Note: the PI5 folder must be contained WITHIN this shared drive or folder -


it will not work if PI is installed in the root. You may need to move the


PI installation on the server to C:\PI5\PI5, for example, and then share the


top-level PI5 folder.

What's the difference between a mapped drive and shortcut to the server?
as far as accessing the files there is no difference.





However, some programs require the mapped drive (in your example x:\P15). When the porgram was created the developers didn't give it the ability to use a UNC path (which is the \\WIS-SERVER). Therefore the software won't work that way.





Most newer programs dont' have a problem with \\WIS-Server, but older software will have issues with it.





Hope that helps.
Reply:The difference is that a mapped drive uses a mounted drive letter value, while the shortcut uses the UNC path... D:\ vs. \\





Depending on how they coded the application, it may not be able to deal with the UNC's.

British Columbia forests? Need help, its for a project!?

Okay. so i have this geography book, and in it it says that british columbia has 'tempered humid' forests (mainly). Then i rented another book from the library about books from B.-C. and this book has a world map with all types of forests everywhere, and it says in B.-C. there are three kinds (order from most to least): the medditeranian forest, the aborded savana, rain forest and taiga (boreal forest) im sorry if some arent real forests im translating from french to english lol cuz i have history in french. Its just i want to know if the forest tempered humid has another name for one of the ones in my library book? and if not... then why doesnt my library book have it writen is it because theires so little of the tempered humid forest?

Linux hash examples?

It seems the last time I had to use a hash on Linux I was using C++ and was able to use the map class. I am now working in C and am not sure what is best to use.





I have read over http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmd... but does anyone have a link or can directly provide me with some basic examples of creating a new hash, inserting elements, and retrieving data from the hash.





Thanks

Linux hash examples?
Using glib is probably a good idea, but if you want only a hash, then Uwe Ohse's strhash is a decent general purpose associative array library.





Small, liberally licensed, uses strings as keys.





No new release since 2003, but it still works just like back then.

Reply:Sure, take a look at some glib docs, such as:

?????????????????????????????/...

can someone help me with this?


i have to choose an answer.


The polar map gets its name from the fact that:


a) the axis runs through it


b) the equator is in the center of it


c) the North Pole or the South Pole is in the center of it

?????????????????????????????/...
Hmmm....I would say c, but im using only logic, not knowledge. Dont worry, one question wont kill ya, lol. good luck!
Reply:If i told you,it would be cheating..and plus, i didn't do well in school,my answer would be in correct hehe.
Reply:Polar refers to the Pole. Only one answer mentions the Pole, be it North or South, so that one must be correct. Answer C.


Hope this helps
